  The Bering Strait or the Northern Bering Sea Climate Resilience Area has become vulnerable to climatic changes, trans Arctic shipping, and resource exploitation. It became an executive order from the Obama administration number 13754 of December 9, 2016, to protect the countless indigenous coastal communities that rely on the strait for subsistence hunting, and the surrounding marine ecosystem's vitality. It exists within the U.S exclusive economic zone and within maritime boundaries agreed upon between the Soviet Union and the U.S. The ecosystem, civilization, and international trade all rely on each other, thus encouraging the establishment of the sensitive marine areas in the Bering Strait. The executive order was upheld by international climate goals, and environmental management standards. Since the location is an international interest, it became vital to protect this area from further exploitation in the oil and shipping industry.
